A FRIEND 10 THE MASSES.

President Cleveland stands at the head
of a government whose population num
bera 6o,oco,ooo OF as intelligent and pro-
gressive people as lnhablt any part Of
the globe. In no nation has the science
of government been so fully tested as In
this country. The test is, how shall we
make government secure with minimum
of burdens resting upon the le.Every
intelligent person admits that taxation is
the most vexing and grlevous burden that
any free people can be subjected to. II
has been the study of political economists
during the entire history Of our country
to find out how to raise this burden as
much as possible from the shoulders OF
the people, consistent with the we'll being
of the people or the state. a fact stares
us squarely In the face. That fact Is, that
the government Is now collecting in%he

The republican party in 1884 in their
convention at Chicago where Blaine was
nominated made this solemn pledge to
the people
"The republican party pledges itself to
correct the Irregularities of the tariff and
reduce the surplus, by such methods as
will relieve the taxpayer, without injuring
the laborer or the great productive indus
tries of the country"
Now, what do republicans say Are
they still in favor OF reducing the surplus
and relieving the taxpayer by correcting
the Irregularities of the tariff Nay,verily.
They now want to reduce the surplus by
making appropriations Of this surplus
money for all kinds Of wild enterprises
that characterize spendthrift govern
ment. No, they do not propose now to
relieve the taxpayer, but on the other
hand they propose to tax the people as
heavily as ever and get rid of the surplus
BY devising new schemes and ways for
spending it. What do farmers think Of
this attitude Of the republican party Al
ready number of them in this county
have declared their purpose Of voting for
Cleveland on the issue raised by his mes
sage,

CONFIRM HIN.

Some of the bigoted republicans in the
Senate will make an effort to defeat the
confirmation of Lamar for Supreme Judge
on the ground that he was in the confcd-
crate army and that he is an unsafe man,
on account of having once been scces-
sionist, to place on the Supreme Bench.
Mr.. Lamar says publicly that the question
of secession is settled for all time, and no
one who has observed his public acts will
for moment doubt his patriotism and de-
votion to the country and its laws. His
public course since the war has been such
that it ought to satisfy the most exacting
stalwart descendant of those federalists
that met in Hartford during the war of
1872 and counselcd treason and disunion,
or those anti-democrats who stood up in
the halls Of Congress during the war with
Mexico and carried their faithlessness to
the government to that extent that they
publicly expressed the wish@that Mexican
soldiers might welcome American soldiers
with bloody hands to hospitable graves on
the plains of Mexico" Lamar, nor no
other democrat, would go further in the
direction of state rights than the present
Supreme Court did the other day in the
Virginia cases and some years ago in the
slaughter house cases. Lamar ought to,
and we think will be, confirmed.

GRAxGERs TO THR FRONT.

II seems to be time for eye opening 10
the important issues presented to the peo-
pie by President Cleveland In his mes
sage. No class OF people 10 quicker to per-
ceive truth about an issue involving
financial matters than the grangsrs. Some
days ago at the State Convention of Pa.
irons of Husbandry, Of PennsylvaRia, J..
]. McSparrow, State Overseer, read his
annual report. 1t was strong paper In
favor Of tariff reform. He protested against
farmers being influenced BY the press and
politicians In the matter Of tariff, taxes and
determinations. He opposed the repeal
Of the internal revenue laws and favored
tariff reform. alleging that to protect the
wool industry, amounting to $4soooooo
the people pay as consumers an excess Of
$I4o,Soo,ooo. Mr.. MeSparrow also as
serted that from 1880 to 1860 under low
tariff the valuation of farms increased 100
per cent, while from 1870 to 1880, under
high tariff, 1t increased but 9 per cent. At
the same time the thirteenth annual ses-
sion of the State Grange Of Delaware was
held, at which A. n. Brown referred to
the Presidents message as an elaborate
and logical argument and the ablest state
paper for decade. lie thinks the tariff
should be revised and the revenue reduced.
1t may be safely said that no class of peo-
pie receive 50 little of the benefits and bear
so many OF the burdens Of the tariff as the
farmers. They should speak out boldly
in their own behalf all over the country
as they are doing in Pennsylvania and
Delaware

Our contemporary, the DissHmiHafOy, fills
a column in trying to make il appear that
even II the tariff duty was removed from
wool, that 1t is so trihing that It would
make no difference in the price of a suit
of clothes. This proposition it proves by
some imaginary merchant. Well, theD,if
this Is true. why do wool growers and
their paid defenders make such noise
about so trihing a thing See ? But the
DiSse1isafOy only looks at one side of the
question. There is not only this duty on
the wool which the purchaser of a suit Of
clothes has to pay,but there is tariff duty
In addition Of 81 per cent on the goods
after they are manufactured which he has
70 pay. This would show that over half
what the suit costs Is tax. We opine that
every farmer in Linn county would be
glad to see at least part of this tax re-
moved. One thing seems certain. Taxes
will be reduced and we suppose wool will
have to stand its part.

Mr.. Blaine In 1871, while a member of
the lower house Of Congress, advocated a
repeal of the duties on salt and coal.
Therefore Blaine is free trader. See
Nearly all the republicans in the country
are in favor of putting sugar on the free
list. Therefore nearly all the republicans
In the country are free traders. See
Very many republicans in and out of Con.
gross have declared In favor of putting
rice, tobacco and cotton on the free list.
Therefore very many republicans in and
out of Congress are free traders. See ?

The Dissemisak0y, through an imaginary
merchant, says that the druggist charges
just as much for quinine now as before
the duty was removed from it, and uses
this false assumption as an argument
aglinst any reduction of tariff duties II
this be so, then there was no need of the
duty In the first place, for, If a commodity
can be sold for as high price after the
duty is removed as before, the maaufac-
tursr of that article needed no protection
In the first instance. Hence If the Disse1g-
iaatoy's assumption is true, II was right to
remove the tax and relieve the taxpayer,
especially in Y ew of the fact that such
removal did not affect the price to the
manufacturer. But the DissemisGkOy's
imaginary merchant was very dishonest
IN practicing such deception, as every one
Of ordinary intelligence knows that before
the duty was removed from quinine it sold
at 81 and SIS per ounce, while now II sells
for 81 per ounce. See

The principal trade journals throughout
the country commend the Presidents mes
sage. The New York Journal Of Commerce
calls II a "plain, simple statement of unde-
niabIe facts, and of the logical necessity
thus created for remedial legislation"
The A0ssyicaH Grocer thinks that "the
sturdy common sense of President Cleve-
land was never better illustrated, "and calls
for "free coal, free lumber, free salt, free
wool, (the lowest grades,at least, )free ores
and free sugar, free alcohol used in the
arts and manufactures, and free tobacco" !"
These are the opinions of non-partisan
business men, who are more interested in
the prosperity of the country than in the
election of new President.
